According to Comicbook.com, the first season of Goosebumps was praised by critics and viewers for the cast’s acting and horror themes, and it appealed to a young adult audience. However, it also received bad reviews because some critics thought that the monsters didn’t resemble the ones from the original novels. Despite that, the second season of the series was greenlit at the beginning of this year at the Television Critics Association winter press tour. According to Disney, the premiere had a total of 4.2 million views worldwide in the three days after the premiere on both Disney+ and Hulu.

If anyone is interested in knowing more information about the eight-episode second season, Comicbook.com has the synopsis available to read: “A threat is stirring, and they quickly realize that dark secrets are among them, triggering a chain of events that unravel a profound mystery. As they delve into the unknown, Cece, Devin, and their friends — Alex, CJ, and Frankie— find themselves entangled in the chilling tale of four teenagers who mysteriously vanished in 1994.”

According to Comicbook.com, Goosebumps: The Vanishing is produced by Sony Pictures Television. The series was developed by Rob Letterman (Shark Tale, Monsters vs. Aliens) and Nicholas Stoller (The Muppets, Storks), alongside showrunners Hilary Winston (The Lego Ninjago Movie, My Name Is Earl) and Letterman. All three are also working as executive producers alongside Neal H. Moritz (S.W.A.T., Fast X), Iole Lucchese (Playing Cupid, Puppy Place), Pavun Shetty (The Boys, Gen V), Conor Welch (Platonic, Incoming), Caitlin Friedman (Clifford The Big Red Dog, The Angel Tree), Erin O’Malley (Curb Your Enthusiasm, New Girl), James Eagan (Ash vs Evil Dead, DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow) and Karl Frankenfield (Bros, American Horror Story).
